The matter OF building tho proposed

nearly all winter, will be settled in a few
dsys, and 1t is said the prospects for the
construction OF such road ars good. Fol

brick manufacturers have ba4n irving to
induce the. Pennsylvania Company to
build road there and i! WAS stated veg

know how to build. An extension could
have been run from Wheeling Junction
along the river to New Cumberland to
connect there or straight across the coun.
try about twelve miles to the Wheeling
branch Of the Panhandle,
A Number OF committees have been in
PIttsburgh from the place and efforts
made to induce the company to build from

better outlet. 1t was also wished If the

OF II.
EosroS, March 222.-The hearing before
the railroad commissioners rs to the cause
Of the recent accident OF the Boston aud
Providence railroad vas continued this
morning. Msster Machanic Richards, Of
the Providence railroad, was recalled.
He testified to the conduction OF the rails
on the boston sidp Of the bridge. Exam
ining the broken hangers Mr.. Richards
sald that cue never could tell whether u
weld was a good ons or not uutii it was
broken, because it might Seem outwa,dly
TO be perfect and yet not be strong inside,
From the break one could not Judge
whether it was all newly broken or not,
1t may have been pretty old.
Commissioner Stevens took Que piece of
the hanger anu alter examination said:
This all broke up at the same time."
Mr. Rieharda said that il he had noticed q
split in the line OF the end Of one OF the
hangers he would have taken steps TO
have new hanger, well made, put in its
place.
Mr.. Richards then outlined his present
theory OF the accident, bassd on further
examination OF the broken rail alter his
attention had been called to it. iIe
thought, he said, that the eugiae had
broken the rail come distance from the
abutment. The tender passed the break
all right but turned the end Of tue broken
rail somewhat, 80 that the trucks Of the
first car were divided aud bcatthe rail up.

ing its isil. Continuing, Mr.. Richards
said the end Of the rail evidently shat
tered the forward 5raks beam on the for
ward truck Of the second car and then
struck the axle, goaging q piece out OF it
as it turned. The rAii WAS then torn from
its spikes by catching in the tracks and
Tas carried alougto where it WAS found.
In his opinion the blow on the axle was
sufficient to have caused all the damage
and deralImen,. Adjourned.
